The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, paid homage to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his Balidan Diwas and remembered his immense contribution to nation-building.

The Prime Minister described Dr. Mookerjee as a distinguished patriot, scholar and statesman who dedicated his life to India’s development. Shri Modi said that Dr. Mookerjee’s unwavering conviction, courage in public life and commitment to national interest continue to inspire generations. He noted that Dr. Mookerjee’s sacrifice remains etched in the collective memory of the nation.

Paying respectful tributes to Dr. Mookerjee, the Prime Minister said that he dedicated his entire life to the selfless service of the nation and society.

On the occasion, the Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam:

“न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनैके अमृतत्वमानशुः।

परेण नाकं निहितं गुहायां विभ्राजते यद्यतयो विशन्ति॥”

The Subhashitam highlights that immortality is attained not through deeds, wealth, or lineage but through sacrifice and complete dedication to noble ideals. Those noble souls who renounce their personal interests for the sake of the nation, society and truth become immortal in the hearts of the people, transcending the limits of time.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“On his Balidan Diwas, I pay homage to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, a distinguished patriot, scholar and statesman who dedicated his life to India’s development.

We reaffirm our commitment to building a strong and developed India, guided by the values he cherished and served till his last breath.”

न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनैके अमृतत्वमानशुः।

परेण नाकं निहितं गुहायां विभ्राजते यद्यतयो विशन्ति॥”
